Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Red Flags for the Eye Examination
 Presence of white instead of red reflex may indicate retinoblastoma; an absent red reflex or opacity of the lens may indicate cataracts
 Dilated and fixed pupils, which indicate severe brain damage
 Strabismus, which requires referral to ophthalmology for further evaluation
Some variations that may be noted in newborns include the presence of stork bites (telangiectatic nevi) on the eyelids, nasolabial area, or nape of the neck; they appear as a purplish-red color and generally diminish and/or disappear by 12 months of age.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
School-age children generally want to be brave and cooperate, although they still fear pain and the loss of control. They often ask lots of questions and are curious about using your equipment. Allow them to examine the equipment, and provide concrete answers to their questions whenever possible because children at this age become very logical. Teach them the proper names for equipment and body parts. Modesty may begin to appear in this age group, so be sensitive to this. A head-to-toe sequence is possible for this age.
